Scott thanks. I understood your explanation, and believe you. The answer I’m not getting is the “part of the Body” in the rules. Here s the email I sent to AAFTA.
Sirs, I am new to FT, but not new to airgun shooting or competition. I have run across a rule that seems ambiguous at best, and one that no seasoned FT shooter can actually explain, and I've asked plenty.
From the AAFTA rules:
"…Any part of the body directly supporting the gun may not rest on the ground…."
So I'm trying to figure out for Prone Position, (or any position for that matter) what does part of the body mean?
If I say hand, does that mean hand and fingers, if I say leg, does that include the foot? Basically how far does the rule drill down to body parts?
If I used a non attached bipod on the front of the gun, and in a prone position rested the gun on my left wrist, while holding my right arm with my left and, and only my left elbow (and right elbow) touching the ground, and not my wrist, would that be OK?
Or if I had the butt of the gun stock in my left fingers, but the heel of my left hand was touching the ground, is that fine since my fingers are supporting the gun and not the heel of my left hand?
I'd appreciate it if you could clarify this ambiguous rule please? Thank you,

. I might. Or, here’s a novel idea. As with most new games, you familiarize yourself with the rules of the game before you play? A little common sense goes a long way...
